As the domestic machine tool demand chiefly relies upon investment to drive, so the decrease of fixed asset investment has directly affected the machine tool market size. The total consumption of machine tools stood at USD 31.83 billion as of 2014, which decreased 0.3% YoY.

Conventional heavy industries that are primarily driven by investment are gradually been fetched up and outstripped by emerging production targeting consumption. In the process, the operation of various segment markets, industries and companies is set to be further differentiated. Practically all market segments – be they metal working machine tools, functional units, tools or NC systems – are facing considerable contraction of demand for low-budget common products. The total export volume and structure are seeing positive changes. The export of metal working machine tools is poised to maintain comparatively fast growth rates, accounting for an increasing share of the overall export value.
